THE HIGH OLD STEPPERS,
A Branch Office of the Lime Kiln Gin
Wiped Out-A WARMING

A Branch Office of the Lime Kiln Club
Wiped Out-A Warning.
For some time past reports of q very
unfavorable character have been received
from ''The High Old Steppers," branch
of the Lime Kiln club established at Nash
Vile. The officers and members have
been charged with various derelctions,
and early in May the president was
arrested, convicted and sent up for ninety
days for having bag of meal in his pos
session which belonged to a grocer half a
mile away. He was no sooner incarcer-
ated than the lodge passed resolution
that the laws OF this country were made
by despots, enforced by tyrants and
should be resisted by the bayonet Its
charter was at once demanded by the
parent club, and in giving notice that the
branch no longer existed Brother Gardner
said:

deal lower arter dis, an we shall be keer-
full how we establish fucher branches in
Nashville. When a man in dis kentry

Under the head of communications the
secretary announced letter from kurnel
Backspring johnson, Of Selma, Ala. The
kurnel bosses a department in an oil mill
through the week, and breaches TO the
best OF his lung power On Sundays. He
has invented new method of settling the
fisheries question between the United
States and Canada, and he wrote that he
should head for Detroit in two weeks to
appear before the Lime Kiln club and
give his method to the world. After de-
livering his address he should remain in
Detroit several weeks to take lessons in
whitewashing, and would be the guest of
Samuel Shin, for whom he had conceived
q grand admiration. The reading of the
letter had scarcely been concluded when
Samuel was on his feet, trying his hardest
to turn pale. Visions of giving up his
bed and sleeping on the fioor-of his
household expenses increasing One-half-
of calls TO loan his ruffied Sunday shirt
and nankeen vest, danced before his eyes
until his tongue could not utter word

A Brave Nun.

Sister Marie Theresa, a French nun who
has lately been decorated with the Cross
of the Legion of Honor for forty years
service in the army ambulances, seems to
be not only brave but merry woman.
During time of hard fighting in Ton
Quin @ bomb fell into ali ambulance full
of wounded men. Sister Theresa seized
the bomb and carried il 10 distance.
When she set it down it exploded, but,
luckily, not till she had had time to throw
herself fiat on the ground. When she
regained her senses she uttered her Gus
tomary phrase: Its only a joke" an ex-
preston which has since become her nick
Rame At another time she was attend
inc a wounded man. when she was struck
by passing splinter from q charge of
metraille. but her quiet observation was
merely as usual: ''It's only joke" AT
the ceremony of the decoration none OF
the customary formalities were omitted.
The general who conferred The title che
VALERIE on the brave nun touched her
with his sword on both her shoulders and
finally brushed her cheek with his white
mustaches.-NewO Orleans Times-Demo-

NIGHT SCHOOL.
At the Southwestern Business College Corr
Douglas and Topeka Ayes.

A six months term Of evening sessions will
begin at the Southwestern Business College
on Monday evening, October 3rd. The fol
lowing branches will be thoroughly taught,
single and double EMERY bookkeeping in all
their forms, business writing, type-writing,
arithmetic, reading, spelling and shorthand.
Each student will be instructed privately at
his desk, thus avoiding all embarrassment.
This will be a rare opportunity for young
men and women who are DESTROYS OF extend
ing their knowledge, and being otherwise en-
gagged are unable to attend our day sessions.
We can point to large number or ladies
and gentlemen who attended our night ses-
sions last year and in less than six months
gained such a knowledge of BUSH ess that
they were enabled to resign their laborious
and penurious positions and accept easier and
more remunerative ones. No young person
with any ambition whatever, is willing TO
hold the same situation all his life with nc
chance for advancement This night school
will be the very medium through which he
can elevate himself and prepare for some
thing financially better.
Tuition-payable in advance-full term OF
six months, when all is paid on entering, S25
per month in advance, Sc. Tuition will be
the same regardless OF the number of
branches pursued. The school will be in

Visual Syncllronisrn.

j. Harris Rogers, of Pan Electric fame,
has again brought his name prominently
before the public. He has q new inven-
ton, and, like Kelley, OF motor fame, he
is anxious to get capital and make the
subscribers to his stock company million
aires This new invention he calls visual
synchronism, and with it he expects to
reyolutionze the world. According to
his statement, it enables one in effect,
though not in reality, to see by electricity
any number of revolving wheels, or NOV
ing mechanism, thousands of miles away,
so that absolute harmony, or synchronism,
is preserved TO them all. The new system
can be used in many ways, where wheels
or moving mechanism may be utilized, in
telegraphy. electric locomOtion, horology
and printing. Rogers thinks that he has
solved the problem Of electric communica-
ton, and that, when the system is put
into general use, messages viii be rendered
so cheap, that letters viii be sent by cleo
tricity, instead of through the mail; and
that photographs, landscapes and hand
writing will be transmitted by wire

SUMNER NOON.

The air is full Of soothing sounds. The bee,
Within the waxen liiy's honeyed cells,
In monotone of mellow measure tells
His yet unsated joyance; drowsily
The swallows spill their liquid melody
As down the sky they drop, and family swells
The tremulous twinkle of the far sheep bells,
While wind harps sigh in every crowned tree.
Beneath the beachen shade the reapers lie,
Upon their lips merry harvest tune;
Knee deep within a neighboring stream the
kline
Stand blinking idly in the clear sunshine:
And like dream of olden Already
Seems the sweet languor of the summer noon

HOTSEHOLD UORK.

Mrs. Campbell to-day continues her
discussion of the household service question
this time rather regarding it from the point OF
view of the ideal servant than from that of the
real mistress. As for some of the specifics
proposed. and notably that of fixing hours Of
work and keeping an account for over hours,
We believe it to 10 quite impracicablc under
almost all circumstances. The proposition to
give servants the use Of the parlor to receive
visitors in is one so susceptible of abuse, and so
out of place a. regards the majority OF small
households that it never could enter into any
popular scheme or system. But VIC are dis
posed to think that whatever remedies arc
practicable must he sought in other directions,
anil that TO know where to look We must first
ascertain the main source Of the trouble.
That main source is deficient sense Of re-
sponsibility, want Of cOnsciCntiousness, on
both sides. Servants do not care TO do their
bcst. but plot and plan to shrl their work and
still to get the highest wages. All their thought
Is Of privileges and exemptions When seek
ing n new place hcir first inquiries arc d.
Icctcd to the character and amount Of the
work Often they arc not ashamed TO declare
frankly that they want TO have rs little rs
possible to do in tc>tifying TO their own ca
racitics mos, of them do not hesitate to claim
knowledge and training which they do not
TO ScSs. such customary mcndaciiy Icing often
the sole tasis for cNorbitant demands. On
THEN side the mistrcsscs too frequently cncour-
age all the worst qualities in their servants by
manifcsting total unfncSS for housekeeping
and as total Indifference TO the quality OF the
work done 1o;cmcdy all this VIC fear no sets OF
rules can lie uscfully applied The evil Is too
dccp-scatcd for that. 1t is ono Of The traits
Of I generation which has parted with many
clilcs and supports thought ncccs airy and
found useful in Tie past The sense Of duty
is everywhere on the decline, apparently, and
il is thcrcstoration Of this sense Of duty which
IS needed to settle the household service prob
lem on a sound basis. While fryolity and
meek submission to everything requiring firm
ness to encounter, prevail, there Is little pros

ENGLISH CABINET CHANGES.

Another English statesman has confessed
his inability to govern ireland. Sir Michael
Hicks Beach's resignation is explained by his
associates as due TO ill-hcalth, which incapac-
ia,cs him for oncrous public service. APP
parently he has broken down in the Irish Office
very much rs son,c Of his predecessors have
done before him. Mr.. Fovstcrs health was I'M
dcrmined by the ccasclcSs anXicties and labors
Of the Sccrctaryship; and Sir George Ircvel-
y.n, who was in the prime of maahood's Tigor
when he went to Dublin, retired from olicc
with the marks Of premature age. Sir Michael
Hicks Bcach's inflrnIty Of temper disclosed IN
recent debates is an uncning sign OF physical
exhaustion induced by the hara.Sing duties OF
tic Office. There are few men in English pub
lie life who can endure the strain OF oycrwork
and anxiety in Dublin Castle; and there are
fewer still who can face in the House OF Com
mons week in and week out the storm OF banter,
passionate denunciatiOn and ironlcu contempt
TO which the Chief Secretary is constantly en-
posed ly the Irish delegation. Lord Harung-
;on is perhaps the only prominent leader In the
Commons who possesses the precise qualities
required of the Parliamentary agent Of Eng
hsh Coercion. Sir Michael Hicks-Bcach is hot
headed and irritable under attack. Ills I'M
guarded expressions and threats IN the debates
of the last week at once compromised his rcputa-
ton rs a prudent Minister. If he had remained
in Office he would have been as unpopular in
Ireland as Mr.. Forster was and equally power
less to reconcile tic island to British rule.
Mr. Balfour, tho new Chief Secretary. Is
relative OF the Prime Minister. and man OF
considerable political capacity but he is no.
torious Cor inrprudcncc in debate, and for the
same infirTnitics of temper which. have I'M
pared his predecessors usefulness. 80 far
as the Governments Irish policy is concerned,
it is largely directed by Lord AshbouIne. who
knows more about Irish history and character
than all his colleagues taken together. His
Purchase act, which has been more favorably
received in Ireland tlan Mr.. Gladstonc's clab-
orate legislative schemes respecting the land,
VIII probably DC supplemented 10y still more
conciliatory measure and carried through the
Commons stage by stage with the new Coercion
act MIR. Balf0ur will not bc required to shape
the Governments Irish policy but he will have
to govern the island and deal with Irish MEM
lers. His character and public career do not
encourage a belief that he viii bc equal TO the
occasion.
